As we head into April, our focus is firmly on the Goldens Are FURever Gala on May 1. Just weeks away, it is our most important fundraiser of the year. This event plays a critical role in allowing us to continue our mission, especially as medical costs remain our greatest challenge. Every ticket, sponsorship, and donation helps ensure we can provide the urgent care so many of our dogs need before they ever make it to a forever home.
Through our Power of Rescue campaign, we continue to share the stories behind that care, stories of resilience, healing, and second chances made possible by this incredible community. To our volunteers, fosters, donors, and supporters: thank you. Because of you, we can keep saying “yes” to the dogs who need us most.
Henri & I look forward to seeing you at the gala on May 1st!

The Power of Rescue -
A Journey of Hope, Courage, and Love
| |
Our Power of Rescue storytelling campaign continues this month as we shine a light on another incredible dog and the journey that brought them to safety, healing, and love.
Each story reflects the heart of rescue, the resilience of the dogs we save and the compassion of the people who make their second chances possible.
Thank you for being part of this journey with us. 💛 Your support is the reason these stories can have a next chapter.

My name is Sugar, and just like my name suggests, I’m a super sweet girl ready to start my next chapter.
I’m a 5-year-old English Cream Golden Retriever, about 76 pounds, and I recently retired after having my final litter of puppies. Now it’s finally my turn to be someone’s baby and experience life as a beloved family dog.
I’m a loving, social girl who enjoys being around people and soaking up attention. I have good house manners, I’m house-trained, and I even do well with cats. I ride nicely in the car and truly just want to be close to my humans.
Since much of my life was spent in a kennel, some things are still a little new to me, so I can be unsure at times. Because of that, I need another calm, confident dog in my home to help guide me and show me the ropes. A fenced yard is also important so I can safely explore and build confidence.

🐾 $65 funds a wellness exam or ear treatment
🐾 $100 helps cover grooming or a dental extraction
🐾 $205 supports critical bloodwork for senior dogs
🐾 $1,000+ can help save a life through surgery or heartworm treatment
🔁 Make Your Impact Monthly
By becoming a monthly donor, you ensure we can say “yes” to the next dog in need, without hesitation.
💛 $25/month = Vaccines for dogs entering rescue
💛 $50/month = Preventative care for multiple Goldens
